Episode 10 (Finale) - 3/11 - Bachelor 17 - Discussion - Spoilers

They tried (their hardest) to make us believe that Roberto wouldn't propose, too....

I believe the letter, more than anything, serves as confirmation to Sean.... whether it includes something which indicates that mom will give her blessing, or something else (to lead us to the ATFR) who knows? But they sure are milking it for all its worth.

Network release states:

It all comes down to whether Sean can decide between the two very different women. And if he does, will the final bachelorette accept his proposal and final rose? Chris Harrison drops a last-minute bombshell -- presenting the Bachelor with a letter from one of the women -- that could change how Sean looks at everything and possibly risk his fairytale ending.

Is it possible that Catherine doesn't want an engagement right away? That she just wants him to pick her and date for a while, before they get engaged. That could be the game changer, that he decides not to propose to her, even though he had all intentions of doing so, even going so far as picking out an engagement ring.

I really hope that's not the case. I know some people will think that's a good idea, but I have to wonder how invested and in love she really is, to not want a proposal. They could have a long engagement if they wanted to, nobody says they have to get married right away.

I hope this is not the case though, I want the fairytale ending!! Although if it doesn't end on the Finale with an engagement, that could be changed on the ATFR.

It has been confirmed, on this site, by Love_me and Sophienette that Sean and Catherine are happily engaged (and Lesley Murphy says she knows who it is and that they're madly in love).

Nope, RS said there was an engagement in Thailand and that they have been engaged since November.

Lesley actually said "they seem madly in love."

"happily" engaged is open to interpretation. If the source is production... they're going to say what they're supposed to say. If the source is family... they're going to say it is, even if it isn't to save face OR they believe them to be happy even if they aren't really. Some may not be aware, but many of us are about an aunt who thought that Jason and Melissa were still together, when in fact he was with Molly. We had Brad's friend come on here truly believing Brad and Emily were madly in love etc etc when there was so much turmoil and fighting going on. So, with that being said..... confirmation from sources in the know.... can turn out to mean diddly squat... just sayin'.....

Where can I find that quote from Lesley? That's very interesting to me, because on twitter Lesley and Catherine seem to be VERY good friends. :Smiley:

Yes, I know but he has been wrong a few times. I was really upset when he changed Brad's pick from Chantal to Emily at the last minute. Hopefully, he's not wrong this time.

Thank you so much!!

So I just went to that thread, and I learned a lot ! I knew Catherine and Lesley had gotten very friendly, but she says they are now best friends, who talk to each other every day. To me that's pretty much saying that he picks Catherine, since she doesn't mention talking to Lindsay or being friends with Lindsay.

While it does seem all signs are pointing to the fact that he does pick Catherine, I guess the big question is if he actually proposes. And also,what impact does that letter really have on Sean proposing?

I know RS says they are engaged, but I do have some doubts about that fact. But I do feel really good that Catherine was his choice. :Smiley:

Okay, so now I have to correct myself. If Lesley is best friends with Catherine, she would also know if Sean didn't pick Catherine as F1. But since all signs are pointing towards Catherine, I won't let myself go there. ;)
